The REDMAGIC 12 Pro is coming with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. That’s Qualcomm’s first 2 nm processor, and also the first smartphone chip to hit 5 GHz clock speed!

But REDMAGIC isn’t just relying on the Snapdragon here. The company has its own RedCore R5 gaming co-processor, which offloads some of the activities from the main chip, and takes care of touch optimization, lighting control, rendering acceleration, super-resolution, and super-frame technologies.

There’s also a G1 display control chip on board, which specifically controls display functions. And it also unlocks another “first”:

World’s first 185 Hz smartphone display

Yes, the 6.85-inch 1.5K BOE X11 OLED display can hit refresh rates all the way up to 185 Hz. It’s a very bright, 5,000-nit peak brightness panel that goes all the way edge to edge with thin 0.96 mm bezels around it. And you get to enjoy that edge-to-edge screen in its entirety, as the selfie camera is fully hidden under the display.

And it’s made with long gaming sessions in mind, as the screen has been awarded SGS Eye Care Certification for reduced harmful blue light, low flicker, and reduced eye fatigue.

A high-quality Synaptics touch controller polls the screen with an average frequency of 500 Hz for instant touch and swipe responses, so there’s nothing standing between your reflexes and your shots.

Speaking of which –

Gaming controls

The most important thing that truly sets a gaming phone apart is the controls, the audio, and — for those of you that prefer to be social — the microphones.

REDMAGIC 12 Pro has all that covered. It features two 520 Hz touchpad shoulder buttons that will improve your experience whether you are playing an FPS or an action RPG. Dual symmetrical 1115E speaker chambers for immersive Dolby Atmos-certified stereo audio. And an 0815 X-axis linear motor for crisp and responsive feedback.



The phone has three microphones that can focus in on your voice and clean up noise during gaming sessions, so you can relay orders to the squad.

Over-the-top battery

The REDMAGIC 12 Pro is powered by a 8,400 mAh battery inside, which is quite massive considering the phone’s profile hasn’t grown at all. In fact, it shrunk to a 8.5 mm profile, from last year’s 8.9 mm. Still, the battery is now 12% larger than the predecessor’s.

Of course, you might say “Well, yeah it’s big, but we’ve seen other big batteries before”. What we don’t see that often, however, is 80 W charging — both wired and wireless, with the appropriate charging pad. And not only that — the REDMAGIC 12 Pro can share its power with reverse wireless charging, with up to 22.5 W output!

Everything is cool

Yes, as we said, everything has to be taken to the extreme. This phone is being kept cool by its AquaCore Cooling System 3.0 dual-cooling system that some gaming rigs might envy.

Inside, a liquid-cooling system has a redesigned vapor chamber with 15% greater cooling area and 50% higher thermal conductivity and an improved dual-cystal micro-pump, which is 85% lighter than the previous REDMAGIC generation but still delivers 130kPa pressure.

All attached to the processor through REDMAGIC’s proprietary Liquid Metal 4.0 layer that conforms to the surfaces evenly.

On the outer layer, there’s a 25,500 RPM fan with dust resistance and improved shaft durability. The fan area has received IPX8 certification for water-resistance, whereas the rest of the phone is IP68 and IP69 rated for full ingress protection.

Of course, this is all lit by RGB, otherwise it’s not good enough to game on! The back has a transparent panel, allowing you to see the cooling components and the customizable light.

Speaking of the back, the REDMAGIC 12 Pro is designed to be completely flat — no camera bumps to get in your way or make your phone wobble when on a table.

Launch your PC games

The REDMAGIC 12 Pro launches with Android 17 out of the box, and the custom REDMAGIC OS 12 on top. At the heart of it is, of course, the X-Gravity gaming layer, which allows you to customize and optimize your experience on a per-game basis.

And, more importantly, X-Gravity features a Windows-emulating layer that allows you to launch your Steam games on the REDMAGIC 12 Pro phone. Yup, not streaming, but native.

Of course, streaming from PCs and compatible consoles is also possible through the X-Gravity Game Space.

Gaming in the AI age

The stock Android features are, of course, available on a phone as powerful as the REDMAGIC 12 Pro. Google Gemini, Circle to Search, real-time translation, AI photo search, image editing, the works. But then, REDMAGIC has its own assistant for gamers built in.

The new Gaming AI can offer tactical tips and customizable interactions through text or voice. It even goes as far as having a real-time Tactical Coach feed you strats as the game progresses (in supported games). You can also have the AI track timed tasks for you (crafting, troop deployment, upgrades etc.), and notify you when appropriate.

Games currently supported — Mobile Legends, Genshin Impact, and Honkai: Star Railsubject to regional availability and compatibility.
